Beyond foundational 5G IP, Arm focused on collaboration, ecosystem development
If you were to look inside many of the base stations and handsets that support 5G wireless communications, you’d likely encounter componentry built using Arm intellectual property. With its IP based microprocessor technology near ubiquitous...
Taiwanese industrial IoT provider Ubiik has released a Release 15 level dual-mode LTE-M and NB-IoT unit that can operate as a small cell or access point. It is pitching the product to mobile network operators and private LTE network providers, supplying industrial enterprises. The...
As industries, businesses and consumers become increasingly reliant on the connected economy, its potential as the bedrock of digital transformation continues to grow. Yet with great opportunity also comes great risk. As IoT adoption accelerates, so too does potential for exploitation from bad actors.
To...
Insecurity affects us all, whether we own several smart home devices, hundreds of connected cameras, or thousands of industrial sensors. In fact, a report by Cybersecurity Ventures estimates that cybercrime will cost the world more than US$6 trillion annually by next year. And as...
This article is continued from a previous entry, covering key NB-IoT deployments 1-5, which is available here. Both are taken from a new report, entitled NB-IoT – what has gone wrong, and when will it go right? The full report is available here. A...
Arm has opened a virtual ‘5G solutions lab’ with India-based system integrator Tech Mahindra. The setup will provide a live test environment for Arm’s customers in chip production, network design, network operation, and enterprise fields to demo 5G network solutions, it said. In particular,...
UK-based Arm has introduced a new cloud-based IoT design system to enable software development for IoT without the need for physical silicon. The new offering, called Arm Total Solutions for IoT, brings together the software and hardware design processes, into a single virtual co-innovation...
Vodafone has deployed iSIM-based NB-IoT-connected sensor units, loosely resembling the printable iSIM tracker solution it developed with Altair and Arm for pharma firm Bayer last year, along the UK's southern coast. The new project is to help academics, businesses, and local authorities bring new...
Truphone has combined with chipset maker Sony Semiconductor Israel and SIM specialist Kigen on an integrated SIM (iSIM) solution for global IoT deployments. Altair and Kigen have worked separately to offer a proprietary version of iSIM technology for remote provisioning of cellular IoT devices...
UK-based chip design company Arm has announced new software architecture and hardware platforms for emerging software-defined automotive systems, including for driver assistance, infotainment, electrified powertrains, and ultimately for autonomous vehicles. The new releases are designed to enable the automotive industry to build powerful new...
AT&T has teamed up with Belfast-based SIM specialist Kigen, spun-out of chip design company Arm at the end of last year, to allow cellular IoT device makers to source integrated SIM solutions earlier in the manufacturing process. This includes at the point of contract...
The AI-on-5G platform combines the GPU and the DPU on the same EGX Nvidia AI card
At this year’s Mobile World Congress, Nvidia announced that it is extending support for Arm-based CPUs in the Nvidia Aerial A100 AI-on-5G, a platform first revealed in April at...
Arm is moving parts of its microcontroller abstraction layer for Cortex-M processors into an open collaboration platform to help embedded system developers to integrate and manage software components and improve code reuse across IoT projects. The company has also moved part of its next-generation...
In 2017, Kurt Busch was suddenly a man in a hurry. He had a lightbulb moment watching his youngest child talk with his iPad, and in that instant saw an opportunity to drive artificial intelligence and machine learning innovation into voice-activated systems and transform...
Semiconductor maker STMicroelectronics (STMicro) has agreed a deal to acquire France-based edge AI software specialist Cartesiam for an undisclosed fee. The deal covers all Cartesiam’s assets, including its intellectual property portfolio and employees.
Cartesiam, founded in 2016, based in Toulon, makes artificial intelligence (AI) development...
Right after the last Nvidia quarterly earnings release, Jim Cramer, host of CNBC Mad Money spoke to Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia regarding the deal with Arm. Most of his questions were softballs, but what caught my attention was Jensen’s comment that Arm was...
Arm has unveiled its first new architecture in a decade to raise performance and security in the “next 300 billion Arm-based chips” to be delivered to the market over the coming decade. The firm said the new Armv9 architecture, replacing Armv8, is geared towards...
SoftBank’s proposed sale of Arm to NVIDIA should be blocked. While there are major UK national interest concerns about this transaction, the threat and likelihood of severe anticompetitive effects are global and more fundamental. NVIDIA’s control over Arm will throttle the advance of other...
Organizations have been increasing the rate at which they adopt IoT technologies in 2020 as a direct response to Covid-19, deploying remote management and secure connectivity of devices to enable new applications and services, remotely, or to improve data insights from remote, deployed sensors...
